Abandoned Sons - Justin Currie

Turn off the light leave it alone

It’s gonna die before it is born

Leave it to cry, let it get by on its own

You set it alight so your fight is done

I didn’t know you could blow the life out of something

That you set the spark in

Pity the string under your bow

Sawing so hard that it starts to glow

Put it away, get on with your day and your night

Strain and the prey evades your sight

Cos I didn’t know you could blow the life out of something

That you set the spark in

And that’s the advice that he gave me twice

At least that’s the excuse that I always use

So put it away, leave it alone

Pick over the pain and it’ll never be gone

Stand on your feet so you show you’re a man

Try to pretend that he’s done all he can

Cos you didn’t know he could blow the life out of something

That he set his spark in

And it ain’t nice but that’s my advice
